Today RateMyProfessors.com, which was bought earlier this year by mtvU, announced the first ever RateMyProfessors top 50 rankings. The rankings are based entirely on student ratings of the most highly-rated college professors and academic faculties on the site. And just for fun, there's also a list of the top 50 "hottest" professors, as determined by student ratings.

A good professor is the difference between a course that excites you about learning, and course that has you staring at the clock until the minute hand finally ticks off the end of class. RateMyProfessor was my number one resource when planning out my fall and spring schedule. It's the Web's largest listing of college professor ratings, with over 7.5 million student-generated ratings of over 1 million professors. Whether you're looking for a professor that's challenging, fun, easy, or sweet on the eyes (students can label professors they think are "hot"), RateMyProfessors can help you out.

mtvU also added a Facebook widget so you can view professor ratings from your Facebook profile. Lastly, mtvU gives professors a chance to respond to their rankings in the newly launched "Professors Strike Back!" videos, a hilarious series you can check out on the mtvU site.
